I can now answer the question myself, as I simply ordered such a small magic box - and was rewarded: Yes - it can also be used merely as a router for a local wifi.
The device really supports all conceivable configurations:
Router (i.e. with private wifi for all connected devices).
access point
Client Mode
Repeater Mode
WISP mode (simultaneous wireless ISP access and sharing)
Hello Galaxus,
this part is only suitable for bridging LAN via WLAN. It does not separate the network traffic in any way. Within the LAN, this would only be possible with a managed switch, although I cannot imagine that an internal LAN within a family is overloaded. Of course, there is no separation of traffic to the Internet. Here everything is on the way together again anyway.
Best regards
Wolfgang

Not much can be said about the differences in radiation exposure between WLAN routers, except that the devices always regulate the transmission power down to a minimum anyway. It is harmless with WLAN anyway, especially in comparison to mobile radio, because the maximum transmission power is 0.1 watts, while with mobile radio 2 watts are permissible from the mobile phone. And since the greatest radiation exposure occurs via the mobile phone anyway, it is most important to have good reception.
There are also routers where the maximum transmission power can be reduced at the expense of range, but I don't know if that is the case with this device.
Hi
Basically, it is simply a WLAN hotspot.
Advantages over Eifon:
- Better reception
- Eifon does not break down because of heating up during longer use
- More stable W-LAN signal
- Larger range of the W-LAN signal
- Massively cheaper than an Eifon
- Possibility to connect it as a general router in the network via RJ45
- Not sure but: Possible to connect to the internet via USB interface with the PC
- More bandwidth in the W-LAN possible
- and much more.
